The Clause recognises that there will have been civil proceedings before the criminal proceedings. Should not the OFT have to make up its mind whether to commit to a criminal trial first, and then effectively be stopped if it decides to go down the civil route before the criminal route?
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
